Wiring up a Legend bar.

[BigAdam]

Hi there, I hope you are all well.

I'm a mower mechanic, and one of my customers bought me a light bar to make work.

Its a Federal Signal Corporation LEGEND, Series A, 12v.

I have just the bare bar. I have no idea if it works, but from some reading here I need a control box (the bar has red wire, black wire, and a grey wire with an RJ45 on the end).

Is there any after market option, or a way to jump it to just flash (as thats all the customer wants).

Thank you for any info.

Needs a serial interface module and a 6 button fedsig push button switchbox to operate.........BUT ya might be able to use any switchbox (dont quote me though, local pd runs them also)

Any idea which serial box? As they seem to price from $60 ebay special, to $800+.

Did find out the bar powers up, so it at least works.

Either one of these will work (i have a silver one)

Does the letter at the end matter?

As there's a 8583469b on ebay with int shipping, would that work?

Okay!

Got the light and the control box. Problem now is i do not have a loom or the button box.

I assume i can desolder the plug and add my own cables.

Going with pin 1 is ground? Based on this post;

Federal Signal serial interface module J1 pin out

Does anyone have the pinout of the Federal Signal serial interface module? I found the abbreviated manual that has the harness color codes and what the do, but I'm building the harness from scratch so I don't have the color codes as a reference. A picture of the connector would be helpful also. ...

For the switches, do i want momentary switches or latching ones?

Please let me know how this works out. I have a legend bar & serial module but no wires or federal control box to power it up. Email is mullensafetysupply @gmail.com
